. >> reporter: let's not mix a lot of different things into one big pot. the poll you referred to was a poll that was done the day after dominique strauss-kahn's arrest. it was a poll that was faultily done. it was declared illegal and done as people were still trying to adjust and absorb the reality that one of the most powerful men in the world who could have been president could have committed such a crime as he was about to announce his nomination. so, i disregard the importance of that poll that said early on that a majority of the french thought that he might have been the victim of a plot. as for france having different sexual morays, seduction is not criminality, seduction is playful, should be enjoyable. committing a violent crime against a woman which was what was alleged to have happened is appalling for any french person. and so one has to make that distinction. what is the bridge between seduction and a violent crime is the potential abuse of power which is -- which is also something that is endemic in french life. >> you make a point that's w

and of course, these are very big boots to step into. and i have to say, from what i'd heard, it's no surprise that james murdock has not, it would seem, been fully equal to the task. though i think one has to be cautious and say it will be some time before we know the full story here as to what he knew and didn't know and what he did and didn't do. >> james murdock seemed to be the real champion of this giant deal over there for bskyb. and his father seems to be the one who say, no, we're not going to do that right now, we can't do it. is this deal to quote "the princess bride" all dead or only mostly dead? >> well, the deal, had it not been sunk as i think it has been by the scandal, would have been very good indeed. this british sky broadcasting has revenues of something over 6 million pounds, i believe. that may be dollars. in any event, a year, of which the profit is close to 1 billion pounds or dollars. it's an awful lot of money. compare that with the newspapers here that he owns which, you know, it's nickels and dimes. so the rea

and i'm a big space geek. i love that. we'll see you back here tomorrow. "in the arena" starts right now. >>> good evening and welcome. i'm tom foreman. tonight we are getting mixed signals about a possible back room deal on the debt ceiling just hours away from what president obama at least at one point called a deadline for a decision. "the new york times" says president obama and the republican speaker of the house john boehner are close to an agreement. roughly it would involve $3 trillion in cuts and an eventual overhaul of the entire tax system. here's the catch, though. other sources are shooting down the idea that this is even happening as fast and hard as they can. listen to boehner himself earlier today on rush limbaugh's radio show. >> rush, there is no deal. no deal publicly, no deal privately. there is absolutely no deal. >> no deal, no deal, no deal. now, here's the white house spokesman jay carney. >> there is no deal. we are not close to a deal. we are -- obviously, the president is in discussions with all the leaders of congress as well as

i like to call the big three. medicare, medicaid and social security. in the short material, either deal will probably be enough. really interesting this afternoon, when i was talking to an investor who had met with the ratings agency at standard & poors talking about the downgrade. could it raise interest rates the same way a potential default could. they said the boehner plan probably wouldn't hit the hurried tol prevent a downgrade. even if that was reached, you could still get a downgrade. it is unsure whether that would happen. the reid plan, even though a lot of the parts of that are seen by many as gimmicks, probably would pass that hurdle and you wouldn't get that immediate downgrade. that's an interesting distinction. >> stand by for a moment. i want to bring back kate and jessica. there is a harry reid plan and a john boehner plan. given the stakes involved, why not have these two gentlemen sit down together and sort of reach a compromise? i'll meet you halfway here. you meet me halfway there. let's get

that's a big question. they clearly can't have an opening in the treasury secretary's post right now. so it would leave the white house and the administration in a lurch if he were to, you know, really plan an exit without a clear succession plan. but treasury secretary geithner is clearly exhausted. >> but that is exactly why it stee seems to me so odd. it sounds like what people are expecting out of this white house when it comes to economics these days, so maybe it's just par for the course. jeff, does it strike you as just kind of bad politics, bad timing? what's your take on this? >> i don't think anyone in the world cares much who's the treasury secretary. people care that the economy is not recovering, and he is the leading representative of it other than the president himself. things were getting better in may. they stopped getting better. this is a problem in substance, and it's a problem politically. shuffling around the boxes doesn't matter, but the lack of a sense that anything is getting better

from the country's point of view, if we get a big deal, a big megateal, it will be very, very healthy for the finances. so i think we need to separate out what's good for the country versus what's good for the politics. in terms of the politics of it, i have been very surprised at how much the president is conceding, up front, without getting very much in return. in fact, as far as i can tell, he hasn't gotten anything in return. >> is that good for the country? the truth is, when you have a big "titanic" war like this, you want people to be agreeable, but you also want them to represent their interests, because they're supposed to represent the interests of a lot of people in the country. >> i'm someone who believes that the simpson/bowles commission report was a sound way to go. and they called for cutting $2 of spending for every $1 in tax increases or revenue increases. i thought that was pretty sound. in britain, they did three-for-one in the cameron conservative government. but there was always a one. there was always a revenue increase. i personally think that's the right way t
